The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses 56 What does the passage mainly discuss? A A type of wild vegetation B Western migration after Civil War C The raising of cattle D The climate of the Western United States 57 What can be inferred by the phrase “Legend has it” in line 1? A Most history book include the story of the train B The story of the train is similar to other ones from that time period C The driver of the train invented the story D The story of the train may not be completed factual 58 The word “barren” in line is closed in meaning to _ A lonely B uncomfortable C infertile D dangerous 59 The word “preferred” in line is closed in meaning to _ A favored B available C ordinary D required 60 Which of the following can be inferred about the cultivated grass mentioned in the second paragraph? A Cattle raised in the Western United States refused to eat it B It had to be imported into the United States C It would probably not grow in the western United States D It was difficult for cattle to digest 61 Which of the following was NOT one of the names given to the western grasses? A Mesquite grass B Bluejoint grass C Buffalo grass D Grama grass 62 Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a characteristic of western grasses? A They contain little moisture B They have tough stems C They can be grown indoors D They are not affected by dry weather Question III Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions(63-70) While many nineteenth–century reformers hoped to bring about reform through education or by eliminating specific social evils, some thinkers wanted to start over and remark society by founding ideal, cooperative communities The United States seemed to them a spacious and unencumbered country where models of a perfect society could succeed These communitarian thinkers hoped their success would lead to imitation, until communities free of crime, poverty, and other social ills would cover the land A number of religious groups, notably the Shakers, practiced communal living, but the main impetus to found model communities came from nonreligious, rationalistic thinkers Among the communitarian philosophers, three of the most influential were Robert Owen, Charles Fourier, and John Humphrey Noyes Owen, famous for his humanitarian policies as owner of several thriving textile mills in Scotland, believed that faulty environment was to blame for human problems and that these problems could be eliminated in a rationally planned society In 1825, he put his principles into practice at New Harmony, Indiana The community failed economically after a few years but not before achieving a number of social successes Fourier, a commercial employee in France, never visited the United States However, his theories of cooperative living influenced many American through the writings of Albert Brisbane, whose Social Destiny of Man explained Fourierism and its selfsufficient associations or “phalanxes” One or more of these phalanxes was organized in very Northern state The most famous were Red Bank, New Jersey, and Brook Farm, Massachusetts An early member of the latter was the author Nathaniel Hawthorne Noyes founded the most enduring and probably the oddest of the utopian communities, the Oneida Community of upstate New York Needless to say, none of these experiments had any lasting effects on the patterns of American society 63 The main topic of the passage is A nineteen-century schools B American reformers C the philosophy of Fourierism D model communities in the nineteenth 64 Which of the following is not given in the passage as one of the general goals of communitarian philosophers? A To remake society B To spread their ideas throughout the United State C To establish ideal communities D To create opportunities through education 65 The Shakers are mentioned in paragraph as an example of _ A a communal religious group B radical reformers C rationalistic thinkers D an influential group of writers 66 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word impetus in paragraph 1?
